Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
In short, mautz (and others?) are doing a great job in maintaining a Nexus 5 Port. You might get one really cheap nowadays.
If you have a Xperia X or XA2 laying around, that would be a second suggestion due to recent community ports and possible "upgrade" to Jollas SailfishX. |
Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
We now have full keyboard backlight support on the Proš with mce thanks to Elros34. However, it is not included in the SFOS port yet, so just run this in terminal to fetch the mce config file from Elros34's repository:
Code:
devel-su curl -L -o /etc/mce/91-keyboard-backlight.ini https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elros34/droid-config-moto_msm8960_jbbl/master/sparse/etc/mce/91-keyboard-backlight.ini |
Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
And hardware decoding on h.264 and h.265 is now working in native SFOS apps, here are the instructions until it is merged in the SFOS port:
Code:
devel-su curl -L -o /etc/gst-droid/gstdroidcodec.conf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mer-hybris/droid-config-sony-ganges-pie/master/sparse/etc/gst-droid/gstdroidcodec.conf |
Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
I may have missed something in the past few pages, but is bluetooth working yet?
|
Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
At least for audio output to a Bluetooth receiver, I can confirm it works.
Regarding Bluetooth commands, I am not sure, as I don't have any smart Bluetooth device to pair it with. If it does not work out of the box, maybe this could help. For file transfers with an official Jolla C, no success. Obviously it should be possible because this exists, but to be fair I never managed to transfer any file with Bluetooth in SFOS, even on official SFOS releases. |
Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
Thanks! I am interested in Bluetooth audio, but also whether it will be possible to pair my Pebble.

But i already reported that Rock For other applications like headset the audio sink protocol is missing. I am willing to do "things" if i get clear instructions but my attempts to add protocols have failed as of yet. Might it be possible to steal bt configs from XA2 or similar? |

The error you get here looks like this, Sailfish using wayland, and XFCE probably does something like either provides and X server when run fully, or justs sets some flags to use wayland that you don't get when running in standalone. If that is any help and the command "firefox-wayland" doesn't exist in your package manager, it is simply the following bash script (pasted from Fedora on PC): Code:
[zeta@pc ~]$ cat /usr/bin/firefox-wayland |

Oh wow, I did not know about Shift+Click Mosen actually, I have been trying all sorts of long press or Control+tap, but somehow missed Shift. Awesome.
taixzo, seeing your screenshot, it seems your xfce4 panel actually is there, but was (accidentally) resized and moved to the middle of your desktop (on the right). Since you haven't installed anything yet, I would just try reinstalling ubu-chroot from scratch. Unless there is a keyboard shortcut to bring the application menu, but I don't think that is possible before the F(x) key is recognized as Super at the kernel level. You can launch Firefox in its standalone window without xfce using "./desktop/ubu-exec.sh xwayland ApplicationName", have a look at an example .desktop file for Tilix here: https://github.com/elros34/sailfish_...ment-573185058. You can try from command line first and then make a .desktop file when confirmed to work, but I think I already did it in the past when someone asked and posted a screenshot of it somewhere. To be honest, I realized after opening the above issue that I very rarely use ubu-chroot without xfce4. The powerful multitasking within the DE is just too much to miss when using keyboard shortcuts, and setting another keyboard shortcut for "Toggle fullscreen" in the global settings results in the exact same appearance (well except for Chromium actually because fullscreen hides the tab bar and address field), without the need to adjust DPI. I have not properly compared battery life with or without xfce4 running, however. |

And thanks for hinting at the parameter to the script. I did not realize it is that convenient. Nice work Elros34! To incorporate the "export MOZ..." a script will sure work to start it befor elros sricpt? |
Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
Yeah, but there seems to be two states actually. Sometimes my battery drains real fast with xfce4 and chromium running, something it is quite acceptable. Usually the battery drains faster if xfce4 has been running for many hours before. Restarting with Ubu-close followed by Ubu-xfce4 usually helps.
Now I don't know if the issue actually is with Ubu-chroot or xfce4, since I use xfce4 all the time. It may even simply be chromium with some tabs starting to eat CPU quietly, and restarting it all solves the issue, but restarting just chromium would perhaps be enough if this is really the cause. |
Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
Can anyone confirm that ssh into the pro1 works over wifi out of the box, or is there some extra configuration steps I need to do?
I have developer mode enabled, and I can ssh to 127.0.0.1 from ToeTerm on the Pro1, but I fail to connect via wifi. I can ping the device via wifi with no problem. systemctl stop sshd stops sshd and I no longer can connect locally. systemctl start sshd restore the local connection. I cannot connect via usb either, but that may be because I have a 192.168.2.x network available to the local network via vpn so there may be some routing issue arising. (When I get chance I will try dropping the VPN for a while.) |
Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
As far as I remember, it works ouf of the box (USB does not, known issue). What is the error you are getting? Perhaps your Proš uses the same IP as your previous Sailfish device, and therefore is rejected when checking ~/.ssh/known_hosts. You could try looking into it if the Proš IP is listed and comment it out.
[Edit] Oh, my bad, you are trying to connect from the Proš, not to it. Check authorized_keys on the host instead then, maybe that's your issue. |

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
Thanks for the replies. I'm trying to connect TO the Pro1 from a device with a larger keyboard and screen :-)
When I first tried it I think I saw 'connection refused', but now it just times out. Tried from multiple devices and multiple wifi networks. It also works fine with multiple other SFOS devices. I dont see the ip listed in known_devices on this machine, but it certainly isn't listed on at least one other tried, because its a new linux install. Good thought though, I hadn't checked before. At least now I know it works for other people, and I didn't miss some arcane setting, I will carry on trying to figure it out. ....aaaand as if by magic it starts working all by itself! I've been trying for a week with no joy, I've changed nothing today and it's suddenly working :o It must be the t.m.o effect ! This Pro1 just keeps getting better and better :) |
Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
Just for info...
After a bit more investigation, it seems that for my local network, either the ssh client or ssh server device needs to be in the fixed IP list in the router. If both are using DHCP addresses I cannot get a connection. I don't understand the reason, but it seems reliable. I can ssh to my servers (all on fixed ip) from any device, and they can all ssh into the Pro1. Added the Pro1 to fixed ip list and instantly can connect to it from anywhere. Probably just another gaping hole in my understanding, but it likely explains a similar issue I have one machine on my remote (vpn connected) network. |
Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat

Another direction would be to ping router IP from Pro1 or if it works, an other server like 8.8.8.8 Also, you may ping Pro1's address from another machine, moreover, you may try to ping the same IP address even if Pro1's network is switched off. So, you may try to investigate what is the cause of this problem - for example, if there is a static IP given to a computer in the same range your DHCP allocates addresses. |
Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
Here is an attempt to put together instructions for SFOS flashing/backup/restoration on the Proš, since they are otherwise lacking or spread across different forum posts.

IMO, a single real post plus linking to it at different places is way better. Anyway, here is another detailed "initial bring-up" documentation for SailfishOS on the Proš, covering slightly different aspects of the installation: https://blog.pcfe.net/hugo/posts/2020-02-01-fxtec-pro1/ |
Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
I am sorry if that caused any inconvenience, but I didn't see it as a duplicate since both posts point to the same gist source that I can update if needed. I just posted the link into two threads that may gather different people: a broad audience in the other thread and just those that were already considering SFOS for their Proš here. I did add it to real posts in the first post of this very thread, and the TJC wiki.
My thinking was that if people in the bigger F(x)tec thread notice that they can easily copy-paste command lines to get started with Sailfish and still be able to restore stock Android, that might draw attention beyond the already strong-hearted ones who already did decide to go Sailfish. I didn't mean to cause any confusion. :< Thanks for posting Pcfe's article too, it's a nice one and he helped proofreading the instructions above. |
Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
Running Sailfish OS on Fxtec Pro1, using it as everyday phone. Used instructions from https://community.fxtec.com/topic/24...or-fxtec-pro1/ to install Sailfish OS (note: adb package from De**an repositories was too ancient, I had to download the platform-tools directly from Google's website in order to be able to do "fastboot set_active a" without getting "error: Could not get suffixes.").
Aurora wallpaper in Sailfish OS is stunning - looking forward to setting a live/animated wallpaper (if it's not too battery-consuming) to reflect on season of the year, time of day and holidays. Icons are nice. Terminal in the list of applications is encouraging. Haven't got a Jolla account so far. When a call is coming in, with default Ringtone (which is nicer than Android's default Ringtone, by the way)... As the volume is raising second after second... After certain dB level, speakers start adding "white-noise" on top of sound. Is it just me, or do all retail Fxtec Pro1 units suffer from this problem? Is it hardware problem or software problem? I should probably test with music instead of ringtone (in case it is some radio-interference problem). Will test yellow arrow modifier key later - it was driving me up the wall in Android when I could not type the question mark in an SMS. Audio calls are fine, but, quiet. And, there is echo audible (probably depends on whether "Loudspeaker" mode is on or off). Thank you. Best wishes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Per aspera ad astra... |
Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
Is there any way to get the front camera working? Rear camera works fine but hitting the camera swap button just gives a black screen.
|
Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
Front camera works fine in the 'Advanced Camera' app, but not in the default one, as far as I know.
|
Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
Indeed it does! Is there any way to make Advanced Camera the default camera app (i.e. the one you get by swiping up from the bottom of the lockscreen if "quick access to camera" is enabled)?

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
In stock jolla camera app, only the selfie picture is not working. You can still do a selfie video for some reason ;)

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Proš: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
Also, is there a way to wake the phone my pressing a hwkb button? If the phone is open and sitting on a table, the power button is under the screen and hard to reach (and double-tap doesn't currently work) to wake up the phone.

Can confirm on Pro1 that does indeed work, and does not require an unlock code to use advanced camera when the device is locked.

I tried before but with less manipulations and I still had to unlock the phone before. I assumed then that there is no need to unlock the phone with the stock app because the binary for the lockscreen is different than the on accessible from the app menu. But maybe it was because I messed a little to much with my phone. I just tried to undo one by one the steps of your procedure to find what I missed, and it looks that with only "Exec=harbour-advanced-camera" in the "/usr/share/applications/jolla-camera-lockscreen.desktop" file, and after having restart lipstick or rebooted, advanced camera is still accessible from the lockscreen. |
